Resident-tended means ask first. Enjoy the view, take a garden photo, and leave each plant where it is growing.

Look. Ask. Then touch.
Some rooftop pods are privately tended by residents. Please don't pick, move, water, trim, or remove plants, flowers, soil, labels, supports, pots, or garden items unless the gardener has invited you.
Ask before watering
A helpful extra drink can still be too much for a plant.
Leave pots in place
Pots, labels, supports, soil, and tools belong with their planter.
Ask before trimming
Gardeners may be saving a bloom, seed, or branch for a reason.
If you're curious, ask. Gardeners are usually happy to talk plants.
How the rooftop works
Each pod is a neighbor's small garden.
Residents grow herbs, flowers, tomatoes, peppers, and other plants for family meals, experiments, and shared learning. Something that looks ready may be waiting for a child's first harvest or seeds for next year.
Enjoy looking. Take plant-only photos. Keep paths clear. Ask before touching or harvesting.

Good questions are welcome.
This page handles garden context. Official building matters still belong with management and the official resident portal.
Visit the official resident portalWhat are rooftop garden pods?
They are small planters or plots cared for by individual residents. Think of each one as a neighbor's little garden.
Can I pick a flower, herb, or tomato?
Please ask the gardener first. Something that looks ready may be part of a family meal, seed-saving project, or learning activity.
Should I help by watering?
Only when a planter is marked for help or a gardener has asked you. Too much water can harm a plant as easily as too little.
How can I join or help?
Use the Garden Board access request. The private pilot is manually approved and does not ask for a unit number.
What if something is missing or damaged?
Send a calm garden concern or suggestion. Urgent or official building issues still belong in the official resident portal.
Is this an official building website?
No. It is a small resident-led project. Management, the condo board, and the official resident portal do not operate it.
